About this map

The Naches River and its confluence with the Bumping River define this mountain landscape within the Snoqualmie National Forest on the border of Yakima and Kittitas counties. The small settlement of Cliffdell serves as a central point along the Chinook Pass Highway, while the nearby Peterson Cem and Pinecliff provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracking family history in the canyon.

Steep terrain dominates the surrounding forest, marked by distinctive features such as Edgar Rock, Devils Slide, and the high elevation of Manastash Ridge. For recreational researchers and local historians, the map details numerous waterways including Milk Creek and Nile Creek, alongside primitive routes like the Nile Loop and various forest trails that have historically connected these isolated Yakima valley communities.
